The LG BL40 Chocolate<\/a> is an interesting phone. Its wide touch screen makes reading emails and browsing the internet a pleasure. It\u2019s also great as a music and video player too, although carrying the phone around is a little tricky thanks to it\u2019s unique shape and size. As the phone is considerably longer than most, the chances of dropping it or knocking it are considerably higher, so you may want to invest in a case<\/a>, memory card<\/a> or car kit<\/a> to keep it looking it’s best and working to it’s full potential. To help you find the best accessories for your phone, I\u2019ve put together a list of our top 10 accessories for the LG BL40 Chocolate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>LG BL40 FlexiShield Skin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want a case for your LG Chocolate but don\u2019t want a leather case, or maybe you prefer a case that is a bit more practical, then a FlexiShield Skin will probably suit you best. FlexiShield Skins for the BL40 are thicker and tougher than standard Silicone Cases, but add very little bulk to your phone. They will certainly give your phone more bounce if (and when) you drop it! It has a non slip feel to it and covers all of the back of the handset, leaving the camera free for you to take your photos. The screen of your Chocolate isn\u2019t covered though, so I\u2019d recommend using this case with a LG BL40 Screen Protector.<\/p>\n

2. LG BL40 Chocolate CCL270 Leather Case<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is premium Black Label leather carrying case that has been designed to perfectly compliment your LG BL40. It gives protection against everyday knocks and scrapes. The case is a \u2018book\u2019 style case, that allows quick and easy access to the screen and has storage space for bank or credit cards on the inside of the cover. The Black and Red finish looks great with the BL40 Chocolate.<\/p>\n

3. Martin Fields Screen Protector for the LG BL40<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The last thing you\u2019re going to want to do the screen of your new phone is scratch it. Martin Fields screen protectors are the best quality screen protectors you can get. They\u2019re precision cut to size and can be removed easily and leave no residue behind. They\u2019re re-usable too, so if it ever gets dirty, just take it off, run it under the tap and re-fit it.<\/p>\n

Touch screen phones can be quite a drain on the battery, so make sure your BL40 is always charged and ready to go.<\/p>\n

5. LG BL40 Battery<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The LG BL40 is a great social handset that offers many ways to stay in touch with people -calling, texting, emailing, facebook, instant messaging and more. If you\u2019ve got a busy social life you won\u2019t want to be without it. If you\u2019re out and about all day and know that you\u2019re going to be on your phone a lot, then then best accessory you can get will be a spare battery.<\/p>\n

6. LG BL40 Chocolate 16 GB Micro SDHC Memory Card<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the BL40 being marketed as a true Multimedia handset, it only has a limited 1GB of internal storage. As a result, one of the first purchases you will need to make is a bigger memory card. The BL40 Chocolate\u00a0supports cards of upto 16GB. This 16GB memory card can store upto 14000 high quality photos, 3000 songs and 18 hours of video. A 16GB card is currently the largest Micro SDHC Memory Card available.<\/p>\n

7. LG HBM 900 Bluetooth Headset<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The HBM900 is the first noise cancelling headset from LG. It has 3 microphones – one to listen out for your voice and two to identify background noise. Software onboard then removes the background noise from your voice to provide exceptionally clear speech. Simple controls and a compact design make this a great bluetooth headset. If you want something a little more coordinated with your phone, you might want to take a look at the LG HBM-570 Chocolate Bluetooth headset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. LG HFB510 Solar Bluetooth Car Kit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The LG HFB-510 sits on the inside of your car windscreen and charges itself using energy from the sun. While its in sunlight it will charge constantly, and can provide upto 16 hours of talktime, and 1100 hours stand by time from a full charge. The HFB-510 has an auto on feature that will activate the kit when it senses the vibrations from the engine starting. Clever stuff.<\/p>\n

The LG BL40 Chocolate DriveSafe Car Pack is specifically designed to help you use the BL40 in the car. It includes a suction mount holder that will secure your phone safely whilst driving and a car charger to ensure that the battery is fully charged.<\/p>\n

10. Parrot MKi9100 Bluetooth Car Kit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Parrot have always made fantastic car kits and the MKi range are no exception. There are three options available, the MKi9000, MKi9100 and the MKi9200. The main differences between them being the display screen that comes with them. I\u2019ve chosen the MKi9100 as the best one for the LG BL40 Chocolate as the external screen makes it easier to navigate the car kit menu system and to see who\u2019s calling without having to look at your phone. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can play music from your phone through the MKi9100 using Bluetooth or 3.5mm line in. The MKi9100 will synchronise with your phone book automatically and supports phone independent voice dialling. The MKi9100 comes with a small remote that you can attach to your dash or steering wheel to control your music playback and calls. If you\u2019ve got stereo controls built into the steering wheel of your car you can use the optional\u00a0Parrot Unika<\/a> to control the MKi9100 car kit with your existing controls instead of the remote. Regular software updates that improve compatibility with LG phones are available free of charge from the Parrot website.<\/span><\/p>\n
